Stolen Cars is an innovative ethnography of urban inequalities and violence in São Paulo, Brazil.

  • Organized around the journeys of five stolen cars, each chapter discusses a specific theme, such as the distinctions between violent robbery and the more commercial non-violent theft or the role of national borders interconnecting illegal and legal economies
  • Provides an original theoretical framework for a rarely studied urban and transnational supply chain 
  • Draws from empirical data and a combination of different methodologies to demonstrate mechanisms of urban inequalities and violence reproduction 
  • Highlights how everyday life is entangled with structural urban transformations 
  • Uses an ethnographic narrative to show how urban development produce various forms of illegality and violent crime
